John Abercrombie unveils a band comprised of
old friends, and increases the improvisational quotient in his new music on
"Cat´n´Mouse", which extends the experimental spirit of the "Open Land" session.
This time, the emphasis is placed on string sounds, and the interaction of
Abercrombie's guitar, Mark Feldman's violin, and Marc Johnson's double-bass.
Drummer Joey Baron adds drive and an edgy intensity to the music.
